More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy.

This seems kinda significant.

No lie, this calling campaign is one of the most effective levers we have at the moment.

If we sustain the campaign through the financial quarter we'll be sending a strong message that this administration is bad for business.

Please continue making censorship unprofitable.

We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW.

Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded

And KEEP CALLING

Stripe crossed a line now.

Call up whatever local LGBT organizations exist in your area, gay activist groups, gay bars, pride organizing committees, folks who schedule drag shows, queer church groups, everyone.

Also libraries and bookstores.

Show up in person to talk to any business using Stripe.

Same during my call- the wording I used was “non-explicit, legal, non-adult LGBT content”, and I got back the response that “yes, stripe is blocking this. We’re a private company, we make our own rules about it.” Was hung up on when I asked why.

The point of calling credit card companies isn't to make John Visa have moment of introspection and go "aw shucks I was wrong!" it's to grind business to a halt for such an extended period of time that all the higher ups who are real people with names and addresses decide that this isn't worth it

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

We CAN make a difference 💕

I'm going to outline for you exactly how the christofacists win, because it's an obnoxiously simple strategy but a reliably powerful one. You know that post that's like "I don't trust y'all to eat the rich because you'll just target a bunch of doctors and actors and forget about the people who do the real damage?" That's our communal Achilles Heel. Here's the play: Collective Shout organizes a bunch of phone calls to payment processors demanding the elimination of NSFW/LGBT/ETC content. Payment processors go "oh, that's a lot of phone calls, we should do something" and then tell Steam and Itch to comply with those demands or be cut off from being able to do business. Then Steam and Itch have to make a decision between cutting off an arm and clamping down, or take a stand and shoot themselves in the head, functionally nuking their entire platform which, especially for Steam, have exponentially farther reaching ramifications. Then our community gets mad at *them* and start calling them cowards and boot lickers and profess never to support them again. And like, yeah I get that getting mad at Itch is easy when you've got nothing to lose, but what the fuck with "I'll only support you, the comparatively small business with no real power as long as you can singlehandedly and successfully fight off the international might of the owners of theocratic capitalism with no further action from me?" like do people really not see the distance between creators and Itch (that's like, what? 30 people?) vs fucking Mastercard?? When the Goblin has Spider-man under his glider, we start throwing shit at him, we don't go "Damn, Spider-man, you said you'd save us. I guess you suck. Fuck you." So if you want to be more than a useful, reactionary pawn, I'm linking to a bunch of posts where smarter people than I are sharing payment processors phone numbers, scripts on how to talk to them, and other resources. If you do not pick up your phone and make that call you have *no* right to be mad at a company that has historically been pretty good about their support for creators and are likely trying to figure out how to weather this storm in real time.

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?

We got like way more people than that don't we?
dieselbrain.bsky.social Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social · Jul 24
ok then. one angle of attack then needs to be actively bombarding Visa and Mastercard's phone numbers and emails.

are customer support phone numbers/emails the best avenue to start with or is there a better option?

i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

No matter the size of any organized religiously fanatical effort to eliminate us, our victory is inevitable.
Trans people are inherent to humanity. There is no surgical removal of us as a people, whether by torture or murder. It would require the extinction of the entire human race.

www.mastercard.com/global/en/vi... lists numbers for corporate offices, I don't know a good script but I would say a decent thing to say is that you want Mastercard to stop doing censorship by fiat. I'd also suggest that if you have a big following, to pressure any journalists in tech to speak up

Once again, there is an ACLU petition specifically made to stop Mastercard from unlawfully policing adult content. It’s getting pretty grim for us out there. Please sign and/or spread the word.

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

There are no indicated sound effects in this comic, so the sounds are up to your imagination. Panel 1: Hatsune Miku, Akita Neru, and Kasane Teto are on stage performing their song Triple Baka, with Miku pointing forward towards the crowd, Neru tapping on her phone, and Teto singing contently. Teal, yellow, and red lights shine into the sky behind them. Panel 2: The crowd is going wild, many hands with glowsticks in the. A few people are wearing Miku and Teto t-shirts. The Neru cosplayer girl from the previous comic is on her dad's shoulders to get a better view of the concert. Panel 3: The exterior of the amphitheater-esque concert venue. It's by a grassy park on one side and a body of water on the other. A few lit windows of the city they're in can be seen in the background. There's a sign on the wall of the venue that says "SHOW!!" with a long blue triangle and a short red triangle on it. A blue, yellow, and red spotlight shine out of the venue into the night sky, which is opalescent and littered with different shaped stars and galaxies. Panel 4: We pan farther up into that colorful night sky and words appear, reading: Your effect on the world matters no matter who remembers it and how

Panel 1: Akita Neru is at a microphone, nervously holding up her yellow smartphone and saying "Oh, um, I ... I-I didn't bring my flip phone ..." Panel 2: Neru, flanked by Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto to her left and right, looks frantically across the audience, asking "Does anybody have a flip phone?? Early 2000s style???" Panel 3: Neru notices a yellow-and-black sleeved hand pop out of the audience holding up a yellow flip phone. Panel 4: It is that freckled girl who didn't know who Neru was a little while back, now cosplaying as her, seemingly having become a fan between then and the concert. She is holding up a yellow flip phone, just like Neru's, which she brought as part of her cosplay.
